My father's charm
Chapter 4-Rani Starts Working

Alka and Rani are now sitting opposite each other at the dining table.

"You haven't worked but you've forgotten your obligations as a mother" Alka said.

"Mas, I'm not every day like this either. Why the trouble?"

"Rani, how can I not be concerned about it? You said just go away for a while it turns out without my permission...." Alka could not continue her words.

"Already, Mas. Don't worry anymore, I'm going to sleep." Rani stood up and walked to her room.

Alka sighed trying to remain patient.

He also followed his wife.

"When are you going to start working?" ask when in bed.

"Monday" answered Rani briefly.

"Are you capable of that?"

"Do what?"

"Prepare our needs before leaving for work" replied Alka.

"I will try," said Rani tilted her body.

Alka was still pondering looking at the ceiling of the room, while her wife was already asleep.

Alka got off the bed walking to her children's room, watching them. He fixed his sleeping position and his baby blanket. She stroked one by one her third hair. Stare for a moment and then rise up and leave them.

...----------------...

Rani wakes up early to prepare for the needs of her husband and children.

Alka awoke before her wife woke her. Do her morning routine before going to the kitchen to just help the woman she married a few years ago.

Alka walked up to her baby's room, waking Varrel up at school. The 6-year-old boy had understood and understood his morning activities without having his parents shout to call his name.

The boy was sitting at the dinner table with his father. Rani was busy pacing back and forth in the kitchen.

Alka and Varrel enjoy breakfast together.

After eating both of them say goodbye to Rani.

Varrel kisses the back of his mother's hand, but Rani dodges when Alka wants to kiss her forehead.

"Mas, I haven't had a shower!" give reasons.

Alka smiled disappointed, not usually his wife away from him like that.

Alka and her son set off, taking Varrel to school first before going to his workshop.

Arriving at his workplace happened to not be too crowded, Alka sat down daydreaming. I don't know why his wife's attitude has changed over the past month since their vacation with the Rani family.

****

Early last month....

A black mini bus stopped in the courtyard of Alka's small palace which she bought 9 years ago from saving it for 3 years in addition to the money from the sale of Mama Lilis' garden.

A 35-year-old woman got out of the luxury car and walked into Alka's house. He calls Rani who is his youngest sister.

"Rani, hurry up dong!" he shouted from the direction of the living room.

"Yes, Brother!" Rani walked up to him.

Alka held Sean and Varrel in her backpack.

"We're going for a walk, ma'am?" raline asked plainly to Rani.

"Yes" said Rina. "You'll never walk to this place" he said insinuating his brother-in-law.

Rani and Alka were silent.

"It's fast, not for long. They're waiting for us there!" take Lina to walk out of the house first.

Alka, his wife and children walked towards the luxury car and did not forget to lock his house.

The five boarded the vehicle belonging to second brother Rani.

Lina looked wryly looking at her nephew.

"Enak once, cold again," Raline praised her aunt's fancy car.

"Auntie pity you, Raline. Another time Aunt will take your streets again" said Rina.

"Really, Auntie?" Raline looked enthusiastic.

"Yes, dong!" Rina smiled.

Alka knew her sister-in-law was insinuating herself who had not been able to make her wife and children happy.

They also arrived at a mountain tourist spot that had to travel 2 hours from the Alka residence.

"Granddaughter of Oma," Rita kissed the cute little girl's cheek.

Varrel and Raline were so happy they both ran to and fro with their cousins.

"Look, they're so happy, Mom!" lirih Rani's.

"Rani, Alka, come here!" call Rian, Rita and Andi's eldest son.

Both approached him.

"Sit here!" Rian rolled out a large mat for them to sit on together.

Rian's wife took food out of the container she was carrying, and the 36-year-old woman called the other family to fill her stomach.

They also gathered together to enjoy the food that had been served by Evi.

Raline wanted to take her favorite fried chicken, but Alka's hand prevented her and the little girl immediately lowered her head.

"You want this?" bargain Rita with her grandson.

Raline nodded.

"Take it, don't hesitate. Not necessarily every day you can eat this delicious fried chicken," said Rita.

"Varrel, this is eating the grapes. It's so sweet, try it," said Rina.

"Yes, Auntie" said Varrel.

"Try if your mother works, surely every day you can eat delicious and delicious," said Rina.

"Father also bought this fruit," said Varrel.

"Can I buy it every week?" ask Rina.

"We didn't like it very much, so Dad rarely bought it," Varrel replied lyingly.

Alka smiled in her heart hearing her son's answer.

"Really, Raline?" ask Rita.

"Yes, Oma," replied Raline who did not like grapes.

"Oh, so 'yes," Rani smiled faintly.

They also enjoyed eating together and joking.

"Yesterday Brother met with your former superior, Rani," said Rian. "He said he needed employees like you, then I asked him how if you were back in if you could accept it or not. He said it's fine, "he said.

"Good opportunity, Rani. Just try to get in and propose there again" said Rina.

Rani looked at her husband who threw away his face.

"Alka Workshop is also quiet again, what's wrong with you helping your husband work," said Rita.

"Ma, we can't force Rani to work. Sean is too small to be left behind" Andi said.

"Sean and Raline can be pinned on someone else" Rita suggested.

"Ma, Sean still needs ASI," explained Alka.

"In the near future, Sean also released ASI and can be given formula milk," said Rita.

"Ma, Sean hasn't had two years to release ASI," Alka further explained.

"Ma, stop. Don't discuss anything else here, we're on vacation and time for fun" Andi said.

"Yes, right. Let them talk at home. Alka has the right to give permission to Rani to work or not" said Rian.

Once Alka and his wife were at home, the two went back to discussing about the work that had been talked about during the holidays.

"Mas, I think the advice of Mama and Kak Rina may be, too," said Rani.

"I still disagree, let me make a living for you and you focus on taking care of the house" said Alka.

"Mas, the needs of our children are increasing every day. Not to mention Sean will drink formula milk and Raline will enter Kindergarten school" said Rani

"You don't have to worry, I will meet your needs!" said Alka firmly.

"Aren't you envious of seeing them take their family on vacation? Even Raline was so greedy to enjoy fried chicken."

"If the workshop is crowded, I will try to fulfill your wishes!"

"But, when?" rani urged.

"You pray for me enough, Rani."
